Expand the Apple ecosystem to Grade 4–12 with full MDM governance, secure provisioning, and controlled app deployment.

  • Extend MDM coverage to Grade 4–7 with standardized profiles.
  • Implement security baseline: encryption, compliance rules, and managed accounts.
  • Expand the centralized Academic App Store with grade-wise bundles.
  • Establish operational readiness workflows for repairs and inventory.

Q1: Adoption & Change

Apple Distinguished School Enablement

Planned

Standardize teaching and learning practices on the Apple ecosystem through structured adoption, teacher enablement, and governance.

  • Define Apple Teaching Standards for classroom workflows.
  • Launch Teacher Enablement Program with training and mentoring.
  • Build a curriculum-aligned Apple Toolkit of apps.
  • Create implementation dashboards to track adoption and impact.

2025

Q4 (Second Half)

MyAlphabet — Unified Massive Management Platform (Phase 1)

Under Development

Deliver a unified, secure, scalable one-stop platform that consolidates aLphabet’s operational technology needs into a modular ecosystem.

  • Core Modules: Dashboard, Calendar, Cafeteria, Timetable, Procurement.
  • Utility Modules: ReserveIT, BookWise, Policies, Help Desk.
  • Built with API-first architecture, RBAC, and modular design.
  • ETA: May 2026

  • Implemented NAC, VLAN segmentation, and centralized monitoring.

2024

Q3-Q4

Advanced Network Security Hardening

Completed

Move from perimeter-based defense to a layered, zero-trust-inspired security posture.

  • Deployed Next-Gen Firewalls with IDS/IPS and SSL inspection.
  • Implemented micro-segmentation with VLANs and policy-based routing.
  • Centralized SIEM logging and continuous vulnerability scanning.

Q1-Q2

Completed

Eliminate bandwidth bottlenecks and prepare the network for cloud, video, and digital learning workloads.

  • Doubled internet bandwidth capacity.
  • Optimized routing and Quality of Service (QoS) policies.
  • Improved redundancy and failover mechanisms.

2023

Q4

Campus-Wide Surveillance — Easy Monitoring Enhancement

Completed

Establish a resilient centralized IP camera network with unified visibility and fault tolerance.

  • Integrated segments into a mesh-tree topology for redundancy.
  • Centralized NVR management and monitoring dashboards.
  • Isolated camera traffic to prevent cross-domain exposure.

Q3

Unified Network Monitoring & IT Service Desk Foundation

Completed

Establish centralized visibility across the campus network and formalize a structured IT support model.

  • Implemented centralized monitoring for all critical infrastructure.
  • Configured real-time alerting and escalation workflows.

  • Enabled role-based access with directory integration.
  • Enforced device policies, session timeouts, and bandwidth controls.
  • Established logging for compliance and audit readiness.

Q1

Student-Level Firewall Policies

Completed

Architected and rolled out a granular, multi-level firewall policy system to provide age-appropriate internet access.

  • Tiered policies for KG, Primary, and Secondary.

  • Defined mission and operating principles.
  • Conducted full audit of existing infrastructure.

Pre-2022

Legacy

Outsourced IT Operations

Completed

Before 2022, IT operations were vendor-managed, focused on continuity rather than strategic growth, which led to the decision to build a strong in-house IT function.

  • Operations were managed by a third-party vendor.
  • Support model was primarily reactive.
  • Limited in-house ownership, visibility, and documentation.
